Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical allocation significance of modified early warning score (MEWS) for emergency department patients.Methods MEWS of 1 069 patients in medical emergency department from August 2011 to March 2013 were recorded and analyzed.The admitted differences of MEWS among in intensive care unit(ICU),general wards and emergency transfer observing patients were compared.Results The MEWS of emergency department patients were different.The deaths and ICU patients together as ICU patients,MEWS ≥ 7 scores the proportion of patients admitted to ICU were significantly higher than those of MEWS 3-6 scores and 0-2 scores [37.8％(14/38) vs.2.1％ (6/289) and 0.1％(1/742)](P＜0.01).Conclusion MEWS provides an objective allocation basis for emergency department patients. Key words: Emergency service, hospital;  Modified early warning score
